This event is hosted in Loudoun Country, Virginia, one hour west of the nations capital. The course runs through the Virginia countryside, far from the hustle and bustle of DC. It starts and finishes at Doukenie Winery, running along historic byways, past estates, farms and vineyards. Doukenie Winery sits amongst hundreds of acres of farmland and vineyards and serves as the perfect setting for the post-race Wine & Music Festival.
